Takeaways:
Toyota Yaris: Toyota’s latest offering, the Yaris sedan, attracts a waiting period of four weeks or less. While in few cities like Hyderabad and Chandigarh it extends over a month, there’s no waiting period in cities like Pune, Chennai and the NCR region. That said, if you book it right away, there’s a fair chance of getting your Yaris delivered by Navratri in most cities.
Toyota Innova Crysta: The Innova is Toyota’s bread and butter model and attracts a waiting period of upto a month in most cities. That said, in a few cities like Lucknow, Chandigarh and Hyderabad, it extends over a month. All in all, there’s a fair chance of getting your Innova by Navratri if you book it immediately.
Toyota Fortuner: The waiting period on the Fortuner extends upto four weeks, except for Lucknow and Chandigarh. So, booking one now should make for a timely delivery by Navratri.
Etios Range: If you’re planning to buy the Etios, Liva or the Cross, we suggest you book one right away for a delivery by Navratri. The maximum waiting period on the Etios range, including the Etios Cross, is four weeks except for an absurd three-month waiting period on the Liva in the capital and just over a month for the Etios in Hyderabad.
None of the Toyota vehicles attracts a waiting period in cities like Chennai, Pune and the National Capital Region (Gurugram and Noida). Surprisingly, cars like the Yaris, Innova Crysta and Fortuner attract a waiting period of around 3 month in Chandigarh which should be the highest in the country. The Etios range too attracts no waiting period in Chandigarh.
